Today’s classroom could be in a posh private school, an underfunded government college, an overcrowded coaching class, or even in the comfort of home. Wherever it is, a classroom must steer clear of divisive issues and forge a new path toward nation-building. However, ‘steer clear” should not mean the suppression of discussion. Instead, it should be about exploring the broader concepts so that the students...

At the Pleasure of his Majesty: IM Lall and the case that shook the crown
The author calls it, “the case that shook the empire”. It was more like the case that should never have gone in appeal. But bureaucratic bloody-mindedness and a reluctance to admit defeat ensured that this case against the author’s grandfather worked its way through the courts even while World War II was raging. India had won its independence by the time the Privy Council in London (the highest court of appeal in that era) got round to pronouncing judgment on it.Inder Mohan Lall, the author’s gr...
Objection Sustained

The landmark case fought by IM Lall helped define service law for Indian bureaucrats and shape Article 311 of the Constitution of India, which protects civil servants from being dismissed or demoted without just cause. More than a book launch, it was also a show of his soft power in the corridors of New Delhi’s courts. Supreme Court judges Hima Kohli and Sanjay Karol, acting Chief Justice of Delhi High Court, Justice Manmohan, former Supreme Court judge Sanjay Kaul, and former Niti Aayog CEO Ami...
